Cover XP users.....I have a question for you

[Denvers Dawgs]

I've been using coverxp for years now, for single and 2 disc dvd cases. Is it possible to use it to print 8 disc cases? Would I need to change any of the settings (Legal paper?). ANy help would be greatly appreciated

Hi,
if cover xp works as the pro version click on tools in the left cover window and select the cover template editor from the dropdown list.
Select dvd keepcase single file or whatever you call your normal dvd case template.In the box's for width and height you can adjust the sizes of your cover. for 8 dvd case mine is set under "type" as cover
"orientation" as 90 degrees "width" 286mm "height" 185mm "spines.width" 28mm and "inner.diameter/splitted part" 0 mm.
basically you can adjust any part of your template to suite your needs.When you've finished name your new template in the "new template name" box and hit save.
hope this helps

ok I did that but the picture is squished.......


***EDIT***

I switched around your 286W & 185 H to 185W & 286 H and it looks better now....thanks for your help

New problem. I am trying to print on A4 photo paper, and it cuts off about an inch or so off the right? But it leaves about an inch on the left white? Is there a way to slide the cover over that inch to have coverxp print at the begining of the temp? Here is what I mean:

Well here is what I set my temp to and it worked out (after about an hour of trial and error)

Using A4 (210mm x 297mm) Photo Paper
Type: Cover
Orientation: 270
Width: 185mm
Hieght: 287mm
Spine: 0
Inner: 0

Hi
sorry been on nightshift, i should have warned you that the templates tend to vary from printer to printer ie what works on my cannon doesnt on my epson.It is a case of trial and error but once you have the template its easy to add or remove the odd mm if your next batch of cases are slightly different. glad you sorted it

I should have mentioned it was for an epson r200 in the first place....Thanks for getting me started though....
